The Kidde Genesis LED EGC Series high-candela ceiling strobe delivers 135/185 cd output for large open spaces, high ambient environments, and areas where standard-candela appliances fall short of code. Built on the same low-profile LED platform as the standard EGC Series, it draws less current than legacy Xenon strobes - more devices per NAC circuit, fewer booster power supplies, and lower total install cost on new builds and retrofits alike.
Built for the commercial fire installer
UL 1971 listed and designed to meet NFPA 72 synchronization requirements, the EGCVHWF mounts on any standard 1-gang, 2-gang, 4-inch octagon, or 4-inch square electrical box. The included GP10 room side wiring plate lets you pre-install wiring and verify electrical continuity with the built-in diagnostics check bar before snapping the strobe into place. Operating voltage runs 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR, compatible with coded and non-coded NAC circuits.
The low-profile form factor protrudes just 1.82 inches from the mounting surface with no visible mounting screws, keeping the install clean and code-compliant. White housing with red FIRE lettering meets standard marking requirements out of the box.
Key features
- High-candela output (135/185 cd): meets visibility requirements in larger rooms and high-ambient spaces without doubling up on devices
- Low current draw: LED technology runs more appliances per NAC circuit and reduces the need for booster power supplies
- Backward-compatible with Xenon strobes: mix LED and legacy Xenon units on the same circuit, making phased retrofits practical
- Room side wiring plate (GP10) included: pre-install wiring and verify continuity before the device snaps on - no removal needed for wiring checks
- Low-profile ceiling mount: 6.8" diameter, 1.82" depth, no visible mounting screws
- Synchronized flash: meets UL synchronization requirements (within 10 ms) when paired with Kidde CC Series signal modules or compatible panels
System requirements
Requires 16 to 33 VDC or 16 to 33 VFWR from a fire alarm control panel or NAC booster power supply. Synchronization requires a compatible Kidde CC Series signal module, booster/auxiliary power supply, or intelligent/conventional control panel. Accepts 12 to 18 AWG wiring.
